Candlestick Park

Candlestick Park (later 3Com) was a ballpark that was a great place to see an afternoon game, but not so nice for a night game. Below is a patchwork exterior panorama from 1986.

 

As seen in this postcard, Candlestick was originally designed with an open outfield, that faced the bay from Candlestick Point.

 

After the stands were stretched around the outfield, "The Stick" was now subject to circular wind patterns.
